Alabama Extends Offer to St. Frances Academy RB Elijah Allen
The University of Alabama has extended a scholarship offer to Elijah Allen, a Class of 2026 running back from St. Frances Academy in Baltimore. Allen, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound back, has been a standout performer for the Panthers, rushing for 1,200 yards and 15 touchdowns as a sophomore. He also holds offers from Penn State, Ohio State, and Clemson, in addition to Alabama. Allen's impressive speed and agility have drawn attention from top programs nationwide. As a member of the MIAA, Allen will face stiff competition in the upcoming season, but his recruitment is already heating up. With the 2026 class still in its early stages, Allen's decision will be one to watch in the coming months. Allen is expected to attend summer camps at Alabama and Penn State before making a decision later this fall.
